Corey Graves vs. Sami Zayn
Graves doesn't want to lock up at first, so he runs into the ropes several times to avoid his opponent. Sami wins a lock-up and Graves rolls to the outside, threatening to get himself intentionally counted out. Zayn goes to stop him and Graves tries to take a cheap shot, but Sami ducks under it and levels him with a right hand.
Now the action finally gets back into the ring and Sami is taking it to his opponent with chop after chop, followed by several kicks to the mid-section. Zayn dumps him to the outside and follows up with a great senton splash, clearing the top rope. They brawl back and forth, but Corey gets in a shot to the gut and attacks Sami in the ropes to get control of the match, as we cut to a commercial.
When we come back, Graves has Sami in a chin lock taking their time on the mat. Zayn struggles out of the rest hold and the two begin to trade right hands, but Graves catches him with a sharp elbow to the head, following up with an elbow drop, and back into the rest hold. Sami eventually breaks the hold with a jawbreaker, but yet again gets caught with an elbow, this time to the back of the head. Graves keeps striking his opponent in the head, wearing him down. Graves with a huge backbreaker for a close two-count.
The assault continues for several minutes, until Sami catches him out of nowhere with a big catch-and-release suplex into the bottom turnbuckle. Zayn with a spin-out sit-down powerbomb, but they're playing up that Sami has a concussion from the brutal assault to his head. He stumbles around the ring, as the referee questions whether he can continue. Graves takes advantage, hitting him in the back of the neck with an elbow. Graves locks in Lucky 13, and Sami is non-responsive, so the referee throws out the match.
Winner: Corey Graves
-The referee and a trainer look at Sami Zayn after the match, and NXT ends with Sami stumbling around the ring, trying to act like he's fine.
